Cao Cao named Guan Yu the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, and Guan Yu used this title until his death, but when Liu Bei wanted to reward him, Guan Yu unexpectedly refused. What kind of secrets and knots are hidden in this?
Thinking that back then, Guan Yu was trapped in Cao Ying, and in the face of Cao Cao's courtesy and temptation, although he hesitated in his heart, he never forgot the oath of Taoyuan with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Cao Cao knew Guan Yu's martial arts and loyalty, and in order to win his heart, he was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion by the imperial court. Although Guan Yu is in Cao Ying, his heart is towards Liu Bei, and the title of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is just a false name for him.
Guan Yu learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, immediately hung up the seal and sealed the gold, passed five passes all the way and killed six generals, and swore to follow Liu Bei to the death. His loyalty and righteousness have long surpassed the glory and wealth of the world. After Liu Bei established Shu Han, he rewarded his merits and wanted to crown Guan Yu as king. However, Guan Yu insisted on not accepting it, which surprised everyone.
Guan Yu shirked the reward, not because he looked down on Liu Bei, but because he had his own plans in his heart. He knows very well that he, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are like brothers and sisters, and they have experienced life and death together. The friendship between them has long gone beyond the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, and has become an indescribable tacit understanding. In Guan Yu's view, the king and the prime minister are just passing by, and the real thing is to be able to continue to follow Liu Bei, be loyal to the country, and eliminate harm for the people.
Moreover, Guan Yu is also worried that once he accepts the reward, he may become proud and complacent and forget his original intention. He is well aware of his mission and responsibility, and does not want to be fooled by the glory and wealth of the world. Therefore, he chose to resign and reward in order to keep himself sober and determined.
Guan Yu's behavior has left a profound warning to the world. He tells us that true loyalty and righteousness are not measured by money and status. They are a kind of inner perseverance and perseverance, and a kind of pursuit of beliefs and ideals. In this materialistic society, we should be like Guan Yu, stick to our beliefs and original intentions, and not be moved by fame and fortune.
So, why did Guan Yu spend his whole life guarding Cao Cao's position as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, but he resigned Liu Bei's reward? The reason for this may only be clear to Guan Yu himself. But what we can be sure of is that Guan Yu's loyalty and righteousness have become an eternal spiritual symbol, inspiring generations of people to pursue true beliefs and ideals.
Through this story, we can draw several enlightenments: first, loyalty and righteousness are priceless, they cannot be measured by money and status, second, we should stick to our beliefs and original intentions, and not be moved by fame and fortune; third, true heroes are those who can remain sober and steadfast in the face of temptation and difficulties.
Let us take Guan Yu as an example and spend our lives pursuing true beliefs and ideals, not disturbed by the world, and not burdened by fame and fortune. Only in this way can we become real heroes and keep ourselves sober and firm in this complicated world.
